The pre-configured devices list is based on the factory-preset patches, i. e. the patches included in the device when you first bought it. If you have replaced some of the factory presets with your own patches, you need to modify the device so that the patch name list matches the actual device:
Procedure
- In the MIDI Device Manager, select the device in the Installed Devices list.
- If you are using Cubase, click Open Device.
Make sure that Patch Banks is selected on the pop-up menu at the top of the window.
- Activate the Enable Edit checkbox.
When this is turned off (default), you cannot edit the pre-configured devices.
- In the Patch Banks list, locate and select the patch you want to rename.
In many instruments, the user-editable patches are located in a separate group or bank.
- Click on the selected patch in the Patch Banks list to edit its name.
- Type in the new name and press Return.
- Rename the desired patches in this way, and finish by deactivating Enable Edit again (to avoid modifying the device by accident).
Note You can also make more radical changes to the patch structure in a device (adding or deleting patches, groups or banks), see below. For example, this is useful if you expand your MIDI device by adding extra storage media such as RAM cards.
